I'm not sure that the competition, despite being "el mondo" even considered the US nameplates.

While the cars that Hool put on display are very good looking cars, I prefer the styling of European cars. Always have. Something about being a little less flashy and relying more on panel shapes and less trim.

Since 1984 all! Hardcore Vette lovers have been disappointed just like the Hardcore Mustang lovers were disappointed starting in 1974.

you've got a point Red and i feel the same way, but.....

the two cars i posted are, in my opinion, the rule to the exception.

as much as i love and appreciate old cars, including sQuids classic vette. (classic = old) these new retro styles with cues from the past are really kick-@ss! for instance, the hopefully soon to be released, Dodge Challenger and Chevy Camaro (hopefully with some tweaking to the one debuted)
